Activity 4

Throughout this series of modules, it became apparent that the various screening tools ask very similar questions (because they are important questions to ask!). We asked you what you think should be the key questions to ask when screening for LD. Here's what you told us.

• How many schools did you attend?
• When did you go to school?
• What language did you speak at home?
• Did you like school? What did you like? What didn't you like?
• Is there a family history of LD or learning difficulties?
• Do you find it easier to express yourself verbally or in writing?
• What happens when you look at a page of print?
• Were you ever tested for LD or spend time with a special ed or remedial teacher?
• Have you had your vision and/or hearing tested?
• How many jobs have you had in the past year?
• Do you like to work in a quiet place or in groups?
• Do you read a lot? Do you like to read?
• Are you taking any medication that might impact your learning?
